Download or read book Polynomials Dynamics and Choice written by Scott Crass and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working out solutions to polynomial equations is a mathematical problem that dates from antiquity. Galois developed a theory in which the obstacle to solving a polynomial equation is an associated collection of symmetries. Obtaining a root requires "breaking" that symmetry. When the degree of an equation is at least five, Galois Theory established that there is no formula for the solutions like those found in lower degree cases. However, this negative result doesn't mean that the practice of equation-solving ends. In a recent breakthrough, Doyle and McMullen devised a solution to the fifth-degree equation that uses geometry, algebra, and dynamics to exploit icosahedral symmetry. Polynomials, Dynamics, and Choice: The Price We Pay for Symmetry is organized in two parts, the first of which develops an account of polynomial symmetry that relies on considerations of algebra and geometry. The second explores beyond polynomials to spaces consisting of choices ranging from mundane decisions to evolutionary algorithms that search for optimal outcomes. The two algorithms in Part I provide frameworks that capture structural issues that can arise in deliberative settings. While decision-making has been approached in mathematical terms, the novelty here is in the use of equation-solving algorithms to illuminate such problems. Features Treats the topic—familiar to many—of solving polynomial equations in a way that’s dramatically different from what they saw in school Accessible to a general audience with limited mathematical background Abundant diagrams and graphics.
Download or read book Polynomials written by Cheon Seoung Ryoo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polynomials are well known for their ability to improve their properties and for their applicability in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering and science. Many problems arising in engineering and physics are mathematically constructed by differential equations. Most of these problems can only be solved using special polynomials. Special polynomials and orthonormal polynomials provide a new way to analyze solutions of various equations often encountered in engineering and physical problems. In particular, special polynomials play a fundamental and important role in mathematics and applied mathematics. Until now, research on polynomials has been done in mathematics and applied mathematics only. This book is based on recent results in all areas related to polynomials. Divided into sections on theory and application, this book provides an overview of the current research in the field of polynomials. Topics include cyclotomic and Littlewood polynomials; Descartes' rule of signs; obtaining explicit formulas and identities for polynomials defined by generating functions; polynomials with symmetric zeros; numerical investigation on the structure of the zeros of the q-tangent polynomials; investigation and synthesis of robust polynomials in uncertainty on the basis of the root locus theory; pricing basket options by polynomial approximations; and orthogonal expansion in time domain method for solving Maxwell's equations using paralleling-in-order scheme.
Download or read book The Arithmetic of Polynomial Dynamical Pairs written by Charles Favre and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New mathematical research in arithmetic dynamics In The Arithmetic of Polynomial Dynamical Pairs, Charles Favre and Thomas Gauthier present new mathematical research in the field of arithmetic dynamics. Specifically, the authors study one-dimensional algebraic families of pairs given by a polynomial with a marked point. Combining tools from arithmetic geometry and holomorphic dynamics, they prove an “unlikely intersection” statement for such pairs, thereby demonstrating strong rigidity features for them. They further describe one-dimensional families in the moduli space of polynomials containing infinitely many postcritically finite parameters, proving the dynamical André-Oort conjecture for curves in this context, originally stated by Baker and DeMarco. This is a reader-friendly invitation to a new and exciting research area that brings together sophisticated tools from many branches of mathematics.

Download or read book Polynomial Resolution Theory written by William A. Hardy and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the definitive work on polynomial solution theory. Starting with the simplest linear equations with complex coefficients, this book proceeds in a step by step logical manner to outline the method for solving equations of arbitrarily high degree. Polynomial Resolution Theory is an invaluable book because of its unique perspective on the age old problem of solving polynomial equations of arbitrarily high degree. First of all Hardy insists upon pursuing the subject by using general complex coefficients rather than restricting himself to real coefficients. Complex numbers are used in ordered pair (x,y) form rather than the more traditional x + iy (or x + jy) notation. As Hardy comments, "The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra makes the treatments of polynomials with complex coefficients mandatory. We must not allow applications to direct the way mathematics is presented, but must permit the mathematical results themselves determine how to present the subject. Although practical, real-world applications are important, they must not be allowed to dictate the way in which a subject is treated. Thus, although there are at present no practical applications which employ polynomials with complex coefficients, we must present this subject with complex rather than restrictive real coefficients." This book then proceeds to recast familiar results in a more consistent notation for later progress. Two methods of solution to the general cubic equation with complex coefficients are presented. Then Ferrari's solution to the general complex bicubic (fourth degree) polynomial equation is presented. After this Hardy seamlessly presents the first extension of Ferrari's work to resolving the general bicubic (sixth degree) equation with complex coefficients into two component cubic equations. Eight special cases of this equation which are solvable in closed form are developed with detailed examples. Next the resolution of the octal (eighth degree) polynomial equation is developed along with twelve special cases which are solvable in closed form. This book is appropriate for students at the advanced college algebra level who have an understanding of the basic arithmetic of the complex numbers and know how to use a calculator which handles complex numbers directly. Hardy continues to develop the theory of polynomial resolution to equations of degree forty-eight. An extensive set of appendices is useful for verifying derived results and for rigging various special case equations. This is the 3rd edition of Hardy's book.

Download or read book Polynomial Root finding and Polynomiography written by Bahman Kalantari and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers fascinating and modern perspectives into the theory and practice of the historical subject of polynomial root-finding, rejuvenating the field via polynomiography, a creative and novel computer visualization that renders spectacular images of a polynomial equation. Polynomiography will not only pave the way for new applications of polynomials in science and mathematics, but also in art and education. The book presents a thorough development of the basic family, arguably the most fundamental family of iteration functions, deriving many surprising and novel theoretical and practical applications such as: algorithms for approximation of roots of polynomials and analytic functions, polynomiography, bounds on zeros of polynomials, formulas for the approximation of Pi, and characterizations or visualizations associated with a homogeneous linear recurrence relation. These discoveries and a set of beautiful images that provide new visions, even of the well-known polynomials and recurrences, are the makeup of a very desirable book. This book is a must for mathematicians, scientists, advanced undergraduates and graduates, but is also for anyone with an appreciation for the connections between a fantastically creative art form and its ancient mathematical foundations.

Download or read book Numerically Solving Polynomial Systems with Bertini written by Daniel J. Bates and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to concepts and practice in numerical algebraic geometry ? the solution of systems of polynomial equations by numerical methods. Through numerous examples, the authors show how to apply the well-received and widely used open-source Bertini software package to compute solutions, including a detailed manual on syntax and usage options. The authors also maintain a complementary web page where readers can find supplementary materials and Bertini input files. Numerically Solving Polynomial Systems with Bertini approaches numerical algebraic geometry from a user's point of view with numerous examples of how Bertini is applicable to polynomial systems. It treats the fundamental task of solving a given polynomial system and describes the latest advances in the field, including algorithms for intersecting and projecting algebraic sets, methods for treating singular sets, the nascent field of real numerical algebraic geometry, and applications to large polynomial systems arising from differential equations. Those who wish to solve polynomial systems can start gently by finding isolated solutions to small systems, advance rapidly to using algorithms for finding positive-dimensional solution sets (curves, surfaces, etc.), and learn how to use parallel computers on large problems. These techniques are of interest to engineers and scientists in fields where polynomial equations arise, including robotics, control theory, economics, physics, numerical PDEs, and computational chemistry.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on the Dynamics of Polyatomic Van der Waals Molecules held at the Chateau de Bonas, Castera-Verduzan, France, from August 21 through August 26, 1989. Van der Waals complexes provide important model problems for understanding energy transfer and dissipation. These processes can be described in great detail for Van der Waals complexes, and the insight gained from such studies can be applied to more complicated chemical problems that are not amenable to detailed study. The workshop concentrated on the current questions and future prospects for extend ing our highly detailed knowledge of triatomic Van der Waals molecule dynamics to polyatomic molecules and clusters (one molecule surrounded by several, or up to sev eral tens of, atoms). Both experimental and theoretical studies were discussed, with particular emphasis on the dynamical behavior of dissociation as observed in the dis tributions of quantum states of the dissociation product molecules. The discussion of theoretical approaches covered the range from complete ab initio studies with a rig orous quantum mechanical treatment of the dynamics to the empirical determination of potential energy surfaces and a classical mechanical treatment of the dynamics. Time independent, time dependent and statistical approaches were considered. The workshop brought together experts from different fields which, we hope, benefited from their mutual interaction around the central theme of the Dynamics of Van der Waals complexes.

Download or read book On the Detection and Selection of Informative Subsequences from Large Historical Data Records for Linear System Identification written by David Leonardo Arengas Rojas and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing experiments for system identification of continuously operated plants might be restricted as it can impact negatively normal production. In such cases, using historical logged data can become an attractive alternative for system identification. However, operating points are rarely changed and parameter estimation methods can suffer numerical problems. Three main drawbacks of current approaches in this research area can be discussed. Firstly, detection tests are not adapted for dynamical systems. Secondly, methods to define upper interval bounds are not robust to colored noise that is more likely to be found in real applications. Thirdly, model estimation with the retrieved data is not supported and the performance of the method cannot be assessed. In the method proposed in this work, called data selection for system identification (DS4SID), previous drawbacks are addressed and robust tests are designed and implemented. The performance of DS4SID is evaluated in a simulated and laboratory multivariate processes. A process unit of the lab-scale factory “μPlant” is used as industryoriented case study. Models estimated with selected data are shown to have similar performance than estimates with the entire data set.
Download or read book Symmetric Functions and Hall Polynomials written by Ian Grant Macdonald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reissued classic text is the acclaimed second edition of Professor Ian Macdonald's groundbreaking monograph on symmetric functions and Hall polynomials. The first edition was published in 1979, before being significantly expanded into the present edition in 1995. This text is widely regarded as the best source of information on Hall polynomials and what have come to be known as Macdonald polynomials, central to a number of key developments in mathematics and mathematical physics in the 21st century Macdonald polynomials gave rise to the subject of double affine Hecke algebras (or Cherednik algebras) important in representation theory. String theorists use Macdonald polynomials to attack the so-called AGT conjectures. Macdonald polynomials have been recently used to construct knot invariants. They are also a central tool for a theory of integrable stochastic models that have found a number of applications in probability, such as random matrices, directed polymers in random media, driven lattice gases, and so on. Macdonald polynomials have become a part of basic material that a researcher simply must know if (s)he wants to work in one of the above domains, ensuring this new edition will appeal to a very broad mathematical audience. Featuring a new foreword by Professor Richard Stanley of MIT.
